ODAP 4, 7, 8 ISSUE
ISSUE Force XXI, Army Transformation,
Institutional Transformation and Army Leader
Development and Training Panel alignment with
OPMS XXI.

• DISCUSSION
• OPMS XXI was implemented in 1997 to support
  Force XXI initiatives.
• Army and Institutional Transformation have
  superceded Force XXI.
• No attempt has been made to determine the impact
  of Army Transformation and Institutional
  Transformation on OPMS XXI (i.e. multifunctional
  soldier versus specialist).
• The Army Leader Development and Training Panel
  recommendations may impact on OPMS XXI.
• ADS initiatives might be incorporated into the
  appropriate Army Transformation Campaign Plan
  Line of Operations to receive senior Army
  Leadership visibility and funding support.
• Effects of Transformation must be at least
  estimated before TAADS can be fixed
  institutional TDAs, IDIV, Corps redesign will
  drive changed numbers in smaller functional
  areas may drive changes in OPMS XXI planning
  assumptions/models.

• RECOMMENDATION
• DCSOPS/DCSPER immediately convene a PAT to
  determine the impact of Army Transformation,
  Institutional Transformation, and the Army Leader
  Development Training Panel have on OPMS XXI
  initiatives/implementation.

ODAP 4, 7, 8 ISSUE
ISSUE Funding for IO CF Functional Area
Qualification Courses

• DISCUSSION
• Nine COHORT YGs have career field designated
  (CFD) into the IO CF to date.
• DA PAM 600-3 requires officers CFD into IO CF
  FAs to attend a FA Qualification Course as part
  of FA qualification.
• New IO CF FA Qualification Courses were only
  partially funded in FY 01, UFRs for FY 02 and
  beyond.
• DA has directed requirements for new courses
  using DL or a means to reduce TTHS, funding for
  Dl has been insufficient to meet this requirement
  
• Increased delays in development, to include DL,
  will result in an increased backlog of officers
  requiring training.

• RECOMMENDATION
• CF Coordinators continue to work with TRADOC and
  ARSTAFF to obtain funding.
• ARSTAFF provide funding for continued
  development / conduct of IO CF FA Qualification
  Courses.
• ARSTAFF establish a PAT to review the entire
  education and training system to meet the needs
  of Army Transformation.

7
ODAP 4, 7, 8 ISSUE
ISSUE Intermediate Staff College (ISC)
attendance and curriculum policy decisions
are required for all CF Proponents to develop an
overall functional area educational program (DA
PAM 600-3).

• DISCUSSION
• Proponents need an ILE / ISC program that is
  clearly defined and executable.
• Proponents need an ILE / ISC policy as soon as
  possible to fully implement an overall ILE policy
  for their respective branch/FA.
• ILE must incorporate the SAM Program in terms of
  architecture, attendance, utilization
• Lack of an ISC policy prohibits the Proponents
  from developing an overall officer education
  strategy for their functional areas.
• ILE requirements demand a clear Army policy
  relating to career long learning
• ILE requirements also demand a tenured
  instructor/faculty policy by DA.
• Any ILE / ISC policy needs to be properly funded
  / resourced for successful implementation.

• RECOMMENDATION
• Immediately staff ILE / ISC policy at GO level
  throughout all four Career Fields for Army-wide
  implementation in FY 03.
• ARSTAFF establish a PAT to review all
  policies/regulations affected by ILE and
  determine a resource plan to implement full ILE
  by FY 03.
• ARSTAFF establish a PAT to determine all the
  impacts ILE will have on TTHS, attendance at
  military and civilian education institutions, and
  the applicability of ACS/TWI/Fellowship Programs
  within Army Transformation

8
ODAP 4, 7, 8 ISSUE
ISSUE Some branches and FAs, particularly in
the IO CF, continue to experience structure
imbalances.

• DISCUSSION
• Changes made during the Jan 99 Recoding
  Conference have been reversed by the MACOMs
  during the PMAD cycle.
• Changes to TOEs/TDAs may have adverse effects on
  promotion pyramids and cause imbalance in
  officer structure, especially in small functional
  areas.
• Army Transformation is impacting on structure
  faster than originally anticipated and requires a
  process for change.
• TOE positions must be validated / documented
  within the transformation division structure.

• RECOMMENDATION
• CF Coordinators request that the ARSTAFF conduct
  a Recoding Conference to fix TAADS and align PMAD
  and TAADS.
• ARSTAFF ensure positions are documented in the
  IDIV TOE.
